Diplomatic sales

Introduction

Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world: in 2010 the company manufactured over 8,4 million vehicles on five continents. The Japanese group began its automotive operations in 1937 and has by now expanded to 27 countries and regions, operating 53 manufacturing locations throughout the world, and selling its products in over 170 national markets.

Toyota is widely regarded for its environmentally conscious approach, having played a pioneering role in the development and popularization of hybrid powertrain technologies. Since the 1997 launch of the petrol-electric Prius more than 5.5 million full hybrid Toyota and Lexus vehicles have been sold worldwide.

A major factor in Toyota’s successes has been our unwavering focus on the reliability of our cars and the satisfaction of our customers, all of which is deeply rooted in the unique corporate business philosophy called the “Toyota Way”.

Toyota Central Europe Kft. can look back at nearly two decades of successful operations. Established as a 50:50 % joint venture of Toyota Motor Europe NV/SA and the Toyota Tsuso Corporation, it has been the official Hungarian Toyota distributor since 1991. The company has since expanded its operations to include the distribution of Lexus vehicles.

As of 1st January 2015, the business activities of Toyota and Lexus brands for the region of Central Europe have been started by the newly established Toyota Central Europe (TCE) located in Budapest - Hungary.

The main objective of Toyota’s business reorganization within the region of Central Europe is to improve the efficiency of operations and individual processes, taking place jointly at all three markets mentioned above. At the same time, support function synergies will be achieved by centralizing them to the Hungarian head office of TCE.

Thanks to the new organization we can provide better conditions for our diplomat clients than last year (e.g.VAT free prices for all Toyota and Lexus models)

Like its parent company, Toyota Central Europe Kft. also aims to provide its customers with the highest quality products and services, as well as to be a useful and responsible member of the Hungarian society, both socially and environmentally, contributing through its activities to a better life for all locals…

…which also includes you, representing your nation and people in Hungary.

This website will give you an overview of the range of models and services we can offer to make your work and stay a more fulfilling one. Should you have any questions that are not answered here, please contact us at any of the contact points listed in this website.
